Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Just because someone says they represent everyone, and that what they own is owned by everyone, doesn't make it true.
Did people have a say in what they could do with that infrastructure, or was it ultimately just up to the people in charge? If the former, it was socialism, if the latter, it wasn't.
Be more concerned with what people do, not necessarily what they say, when ascribing ideals to them.
Uh huh. Thanks for explaining that to me, you're so smart and know so much about this :)

You sound like you know better because you were there with Lenin. That is besides the fact that in almost 80 years a lot changed in USSR and what maybe was true at first, was not so in the end
Or I've read books by scholars describing their systems and their evolution over time and it's just not really worth arguing with a bunch of vaguely leftist dorks who think the fucking USSR wasn't socialist because they were authoritarian.
One of the two things.
